Usage of this ability from behind the target seems to slightly enhance its success rate. Usage of this ability will add a small amount of enmity to the user. Usage of this ability will cause a disengaged enemy to engage the user. Usage of this ability in Ballista will allow the user to steal petras. Usage of the ability Feint and then Steal seems to increase the success rate. Mob HP seems to greatly affect success rate. ie: lower hp may yield higher success chance
